Introduction The Exposing Kubernetes Applications series focuses on ways to expose applications running in a Kubernetes cluster for external access. In Part 1, we explored Service and Ingress resource types that define two ways to control the inbound traffic in a Kubernetes cluster. We discussed handling of these resource types via Service and Ingress controllers, […]

Introduction Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the support for Fluent Bit container images for Windows operating system. This support eliminates the need for Windows customers to implement any custom logging solutions in their application code or manage custom agents on their Windows nodes to scrape the logs. For more details about the supported Windows […]

Introduction Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) managed node groups automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of Kubernetes nodes (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances) for Amazon EKS Kubernetes clusters. Managed nodes are provisioned as part of an Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling group that’s managed for you by Amazon EKS. Amazon EKS doesn’t enable […]

Introduction The Center for Internet Security (CIS) Benchmarks are best practices for the secure configuration of a target system. They define various Benchmarks for Kubernetes control plane and the data plane. For Amazon EKS clusters, it is strongly recommended to follow the CIS Amazon EKS Benchmark. If the data plane of an Amazon EKS cluster uses Amazon Linux […]

Introduction Customers are moving to cloud thanks to its scalability and cost-effectiveness. Some are adopting Kubernetes to modernize their workloads for a more agile way to iterate and deliver time-to-market services or product features to their customers. As the number of clusters to be managed increases, customers struggle with different deployment mechanisms and application programming […]

Introduction Securely adopting Kubernetes includes preventing unwanted changes to clusters. Unwanted changes can disrupt cluster operations and even compromise cluster integrity. Introducing pods that lack correct security configurations is an example of an unwanted cluster change. To control pod security, Kubernetes provided Pod Security Policy (PSP) resources. PSPs specify a set of security settings that […]

This post was co-written by Shimon Tolts, CEO and Co-Founder, Datree.
